From multiple Bram Stoker Award-winning author Jonathan Maberry comes a major new thriller that combines the best of the New York Times bestselling books World War Z by Max Brooks and James Rollins' Sigma Force series to kick off the start of a new series featuring Joe Ledger and the Department of Military Sciences.

When you have to kill the same terrorist twice in one week there's either something wrong with your world or something wrong with your skills??and there's nothing wrong with Joe Ledger's skills. And that's both a good and a bad thing. It's good because he's a Baltimore detective who has just been secretly recruited by the government to lead a new task force created to deal with the problems that Homeland Security can't handle. This rapid-response group is called the Department of Military Sciences, or the DMS for short. It's bad because his first mission is to help stop a group of terrorists from releasing a dreadful bioweapon that can turn ordinary people into zombies. The fate of the world hangs in the balance.… (més)

Interesting stuff. Whole book is like allegory to the zombie itself. Start pretty cool and professional, but without any unreal conclusion jumps. Then we got infection, fear, stutter, stupid moves, faith jumps, inversions and... life after death of course. Really, some staff closer to the ending looked like it was made that way just to put more drama in the available timeframe. Somehow character professionalism evaporates and live very noticeable hole. Still entertaining read anyway.

P.S. It reads like a TV series. I really need to watch that "24" now. ( )

Good zombie novel. Nice mix of the spy genre and horror. Over the top in a few places but I still enjoyed it a lot. A great vacation read, which is where I read it. ( )

About 10 pages in, I started thinking of this book as “24 with zombies”. And I LOVED that premise! Joe Ledger is the ultimate Jack Bauer, with his tough, no-nonsense, take-no-prisoners approach to doing the right thing. Yet it’s also clear that he feels things deeply; he’s just able to compartmentalize those emotions and not let them interfere with doing his job. I was enjoying the ride and eager to see where this went.

And then, about a third of the way in, I encountered a scene I just couldn’t get past. [SPOILER ALERT] It’s probably because I’m a relatively new mom, and my soft, squishy heart just couldn’t handle the idea of dozens of children locked up in a cage and meant to be served to zombies for dinner. The scene were Joe and his team barge in to save the children - yet end up having to kill some of the kids who had been infected - was so heart-wrenching, grotesque and disturbing that I had to close the book. Unfortunately, that was it for me. I had to put this one in the “did not finish” pile. ( )

Joe Ledger mata al terrorista Javad Mustapha, alias el Paciente Cero, con dos tiros de su Glock 45.
Miércoles, 08.00 horas
El Paciente Cero regresa de entre los muertos. Cuando tienes que matar al mismo terrorista dos veces la misma semana, o bien falla algo en tus aptitudes o el mundo se ha vuelto loco? y las aptitudes de Joe Ledger están perfectamente. Ledger es reclutado por el Gobierno para dirigir un nuevo grupo de respuesta rápida ultrasecreto llamado Departamento de Ciencia Militar (DCM) para ayudarlos a evitar que un grupo de terroristas active una terrible arma biológica que tiene la capacidad de convertir a la gente normal en zombis.

For years I passed on this book thinking more it was about zombies. I have had read some short fiction by the same author and it had characters from this series in it, so I gave it a listen. This starts out as cop being recruited by a mysterious government group right before he was to start at Quantico. He came to their attention because on his last job on a taskforce he took down a zombie. No one at the time knew it was one and thought it was just another terrorist in the cell they were taking down. Joe Ledger is a good cop and a great fighter, but he does have issues due to terrible things that happened when he was a kid. Now part of the DMS, he and a small group of fighters are now trying to take down the terrorist group that have made a virus that can turn anyone into a zombie and the bite of the zombie will infect more. The group behind this has funding from a pharmaceutical company that has the cure, and they are planning on making billions. But the terrorists are using the pharma company as much as they are using them. Lots of action and a good story. I also got the next one in the series to listen to. ( )

Anyone who's read Jonathan Maberry's Pine Deep Trilogy, which culminated with last year's BAD MOON RISING, knows that the martial artist-turned-Bram Stoker Award-winning author likes his kill counts in the stratosphere.
